August bank holiday and we are having a micro heat wave, lets make the most of it!!!!!

Spent a fabulous family day with friends on the beach, and Simon and I decided that a spot of fishing on his kayak was the order of the day, we spent hours until dark fly fishing and plugging, I hooked something on the fly and lost it, Simon had a couple of follows on a popper……

I managed somehow to capsize us about half a mile offshore, I trod water with all the fishing gear and Simon managed to sort the boat out, it was touch and go for a minuite or two……..

Well it was meant to be ….. A bunch of us keen fishermen headed east to a secret beach, for Will’s stag night.

We ate fresh mackerel and drank fine wines. But for me, the icing on the cake had to be the capture of a fine Bass, almost at low water on a freelined mackerel head and on a very light spinning rod. The evening of fishing fun finally ended around 3am to then be woken at first light with rain and an increasing sw wind. Needless to say, the journey back was somewhat choppy !!!!
